I want to become a dog trainer, can I specialize in training puppies and therapy dogs?
I am looking into ABC (Animal Behavior College) to study dog training. I was wondering if I can specialize in training puppies and therapy dogs? Is there a demand for this?

What are some good dog training books or DVD?
I currently have my 5 month old in puppy class. I was going to go through all 4 classes at Petsmart, but now I’m thinking I could save about $300. 00 and teach my dog the same things (and probably more), if I invest in a good book or DVD. Any suggestions? I’d prefer a DVD, but books are fine too. That way I can also apply the training to our other two dogs at the same time. I do have a clicker. . . I was very impressed with how easy and quickly she responded to it. I take my dogs to the dog park so they do a lot of socializing there. I’m just not very impressed with the training I’m getting. Asking questions is hard, because I think the trainer is more distracted than the dogs. 
what is the best dog training book to read for an apbt puppy?
i recently ordered pit bulls for dummies, and will soon acquire a copy of dog training for dummies. the lady that lives downstairs from me gave me a book titled ‘Smarter than you Think’ and it tells you to throw things at your dog to teach it to come, and to stick a match in its butt to poop, and not trust dog food companies, and all this weird stuff, not too sure about that book. any other suggestions? or tips?

How do I go about training and certifying a dog to be a therapy dog?
Hopefully in the near future, my fiance and I are looking to get a puppy and I have always wanted to be able to go into hospitals, especially childrens hospitals, with my dog and give those kids a better experience. We’re looking to get a Lab, Boxer, or German Shep. (Unless something else comes across out paths. ) We live in SE Wisconsin, right around Milwaukee. So basically, I’m looking for any and all information I can get about therapy dog training and certification.
